Conan the Avenger #16

In "Blood Oasis, Part One," Conan and Natala press southward, haunted by their escape from Xuthal and the dread presence of the shadow god Thog. After surviving a brutal sandstorm, they’re confronted by the enigmatic Valerius and his caravan—tensions flare, but a shared need for survival forces an uneasy alliance. As darkness falls, a mysterious beacon atop a distant tower cuts through the desert night, guiding them toward the elusive oasis. Written by Fred Van Lente and brought to life with bold, atmospheric art by Brian Ching, this issue features vivid colors by Michael Atiyeh and dynamic lettering by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, with a striking cover by Jason Felix.
